The Precipice of the Unknown

Standing at the precipice, hanging by the skin of my teeth with eyes brimming with tears, I looked down into the murky abyss… How often have I tried to unravel what lies beyond the realm of mind? Ethereal and graceful, One of a kind An all-knowing, all-encompassing that only my heart knows better where my soul finally belong. O Death, calm my restless spirit Deliver me from this despair, Tell me, how long must I suffer this feeling of anguish in my mind before my soul to its abode depart? I want to step my feet where there’s no further to go. A silent bolt of lightning thunderously strikes my heart, A flash of darkness sparkles like an echo reverberating in a brimming void wrapping me in a swathe of emptiness this world cannot fill. Consumed by fear driven by paranoia, I raised my arms to embrace this foreboding darkness and plunge forward whispering, Life, I bid you adieu. ~02/06/22 ~Contest: Pick-A-Title Vol.28 ~Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
